What is a target heart rate?
Measuring your heart rate (beats per minute) can tell you how hard your heart is working. You can check your heart rate by counting your pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying the beats by 4.
The chart to the right shows the target heart rates for people of different ages. When you're just beginning an exercise program, shoot for the lower target heart rate (60%). As your fitness improves, you can exercise harder to get your heart rate closer to the top number (85%).

Now I am beginning to get used to the exercise, I have increased my cardio.
So far to date I have lost 6lb including two inches off my hip, two inches of my waist and gained two inches on my biceps. I can really see a difference. Without the aid of so called diet pills of any kind. Keep training and dieting!

Today's Training - Legs.
Calf muscles.
1. Hold to dumbbells at your sides 7kg each.
2. Stand with the toes pointing slightly outwards keep back straight.
3. Simply roll onto your toes as high as you can heels off the ground, hold and contract for a few seconds
4. slowly lower yourself back on your feet. Don't bounce up and down.
Exercise Bike - 15 mins.
Elliptical Trainer - 5 mins. The Elliptical Trainer is very challenging, I can only manage five mins of exercise on this, although it looks easy, don't be fooled, it takes a lot of getting used to. You have to build yourself up to this, like the lateral thigh trainer, it burns the thigh muscles and after five mins, It really hurts. My advice would be to do two mins have a mins rest and go back to it.

Food
Chicken/Turkey and brown rice. One orange and water and a protein drink.

Today's workout was pretty tough. I decided to workout with Gunnar Petersons Core secrets. - A twenty five minute workout that hits all the right spots. This is a workout that I do everyday along with my cardio training, which includes 100 cal burned with the exercise bike. (15 mins)
